Sony Lies. Thats the max they sold it with, so as far as they are concerned its the max. Its well known their machines take more memory than they say.
Go to crucial.com and enter the machine model, and get a quote.
Firstly, let me apologize to all for the empty post. Lesson learned: don't use a Yahoo account on this list, Yahoo accounts suck for lists. I've changed email addresses.
Anyhoo, Crucial doesn't seem to sell RDRAM memory. The cheapest I can find for a 128mb stick is $44 at Newegg. Still not worth it. According to Sony's website, the max memory this machine can take is 512MB (4 x 128MB sticks) so is that figure wrong? Also, I think I figured out my problem, SUSE wants the boot partition to be at the beginning of the disk, but right now the swap space is there. I think I'll boot Knoppix back up and put an ext3 partition at the beginning of the disk and put the swap after that. Unless I can do it with the 9.3 network install disk...
Thanks -Nick
The first partition on my SuSE Linux box is a swap partition. Greg Wallace
